]]> Branding Is the Name of the Game tag:weellc.net,2012:/blog//1.10 2012-02-27T20:33:20Z 2012-02-27T20:33:20Z weellc It has been a long time since a new posting has been placed on this blog site but things will begin to change.  Its almost spring and the temperatures will begin to make sense depending on your geographic location!  The topic of today is branding.  Learn how to market yourself.  Enough emphasis can't be placed on this topic, people will promote other products such as:  watches, clothes, cars, etc but won't spend time branding their best product!   

Branding is an art form, seriously it is!  So many people have gained jobs or even careers through presenting a total package.  Branding begins with confidence, try walking into a crowded room of perspective employers where at least one third of the people after meeting you want to know more about you.  That's amazing, right!  Wrong!  You probable guessed but I haven't told you much about the process because you will learn more about branding in the next reading.  This segment serves as a introduction but begin practicing your sixty second pitch.  If you don't know your sixty second pitch then we have work to due!

My first resume was a copy and paste from various sources, does this sound familiar?   It was a compilation of information from the following sources: websites, professors, career professionals, etc.  I didn’t realize how helpful all this information could be.   In this day and age, everyone assumes that they are the expert on resume writing and will rightfully stake their claim.  Best advice, grab pieces of information from everywhere it can be found.  Take full advantage of living in the technology age where information is free and plentiful.   Like anything, it is intelligence gathering, use what is useful and discard the rest!     

]]> The Resume Trap tag:weellc.net,2009:/blog//1.4 2009-08-06T03:31:18Z 2009-08-06T10:32:41Z weellc Hello everyone, have you ever submitted a resume to an employer but never received a call?   First, ask yourself has your resume been updated?  Second, did you emphasize key elements that can attract an employer?   Third, did you answer the four w's (e.g. who, what, when, where and how)?   If you answered no to these questions then welcome to the resume trap!  

As a perspective candidate you should understand that the resume is a business card which leaves a lasting impression.  Take warning, employers will disregard your resume if it isn't attractive.   So, what needs to be done to become an attractive employee?  

First as previously mentioned write any current skills obtained or trainings.   Also be sure to evaluate similar positions and compare job descriptions.  This will provide a measuring stick and allow you to equate your performance with others performing the exact position.  

 

Second grasp an understanding of key words and technology in the field and incorporate the language into your resume.   Please, please become proficient with resources in your field of expertise.  If you don't know then join affiliations or clubs in your field that can provide further insight.   Also connect with other professionals in the field and become a sponge!    I'm not kidding, the more you interact with professionals, the more proficient you become in the language and the field.

 

Last point, know the four w's.   Many people fail at providing detail job and employment descriptions.   If you were involved in a car accident, you would give the officer taking the report a detailed description so this is no different.   This point becomes redundant and self explanatory therefore the finals words will be go get that job!
